Veteran actor Kamal Haasan made his parliamentary debut on Friday as he took oath as a Member of Parliament in the Rajya Sabha, delivering his oath in Tamil. He was nominated with the backing of the ruling DMK-led alliance, which had promised him a Rajya Sabha seat in exchange for MNM’s support during the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. His daughter, actress Shruti Haasan, accompanied him to Delhi and witnessed this special moment.

Kamal Haasan Vows Voice For Tamil Nadu

The 69-year-old actor-politician shared his official statement on X a few hours after his first Parliament appearance. In the statement, he promised to be the voice of Tamil Nadu in Delhi.

His statement read, "This moment is not mine alone. I share it with my people, whose voices I carry into the chambers of power. I share it with the soil of Tamil Nadu that has nurtured me a land that has produced poets and revolutionaries, thinkers and reformers, and above all, citizens who believe deeply in justice, dignity, and self-respect. I also carry the invisible, enduring presence of my father a freedom fighter who taught me that liberty must be lived, not merely won. In my veins flows not just his blood, but his values forged in the crucible of our struggle for independence, tempered by the dreams of Gandhiji, the intellect of Ambedkar, and the conviction of Periyar."

On June 12, Kamal Haasan, president of Makkal Needhi Maiam (MNM), and five others were elected unopposed to the Rajya Sabha from Tamil Nadu.
